Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort...FOUND!!!

This ring find began August 8th, when I got a call from Joel who was on vacation from Venice, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  While walking in shoulder deep water Joel’s Platinum Wedding Band came off and disappeared into the sand.  Since I’m only 5’7″ and he’s 6’3′ I told him it would require scuba.  I just had shoulder surgery and the doc hadn’t given me permission to scuba yet.  Then when I got permission the waters of the lagoon were so murky we had to wait even longer.  Finally, on Sunday, 24 August the conditions came together and I was able to dive.  Joel had provided me a photo earlier of the approximate location and I used that to create my underwater grid using my red-orange neoprene rope as a guide.  After about 30 minutes hunting I got a nice tone on the Manticore and I fanned my hand over the spot.  Suddenly, jackpot Joel’s Platinum Band exposed itself.  I ended the dive and went ashore to send Joel a pic of the recovered ring.  He received the ring in the mail and sent me a pic with a “Shaka”.  Aloha to Joel!
